My grandmother was born in 1913 in Liverpool . Her father was patrick Martin and her mother was Annie ( nee murnighan) . I was always told that she was Spanish but have found no trace of this . She married Henry parker in 1935 . My father Henry was born that year . We believe Clara also had a brother James Martin as he is listed on her marriage certificate as her father was deceased when she married . I am trying to find out why my father had always believed he had no family at all . Clara died in 1940 . She is buried in ford cemetery .

Bobhamo has found the Correct Family !

Search of GRO online Birth Index shows :

Mary Elizabeth Martin registered Birth =Dec quarter 1899 in West Derby District Vol 8b page 355 Mother's Maiden Name = Murnaghan

James Joseph Martin . Sep 1901 West Derby Vol 8b page 340 Mother's Maiden Name = Murnaghan

Patrick Martin Dec 1907 West Derby Vol 8b page 357 Mother's Maiden Name = Murnaghan

Maggie Ann Martin Jun 1909 West Derby Vol 8b page 351 Mother's Maiden Name = Muraghan (No N after R)

Do you have the Birth Cert for Clara Martin ? showing her Mother's Maiden as Murnaghan ?
Because there were 23 Clara Martins born 1911 to 1915 None with Mother's Maiden Name Murnagham.

EDIT
Was a victim of listening to my own advice to people when searching the GRO birth index search last night.
I.E. don't enter a christian name even if you know it unless last resort and don't enter Mother's Maiden Name in case of miss type then after Exact match search on Mother's Maiden Name try phonetically sounding surnames.
Thanks to Jans Help,

Birth index found under CLARE Martin and Mother's Maiden Name = Murnaghan






Bobhamo how kids shown on 1911 of the marriage and how many died ?
Is it Six ? with Two Died ?
